Pause collection is not working on scheduled subscription

you pause the underlying subscription on the schedule
balmy timber
I don't understand

balmy timber
I didn't understand... can you please share code
runic solstice
Hi @balmy timber as I mentioned yesterday, we can't write code for you here. Please refer to the documentation to build the solution yourself.
runic solstice
you pause the underlying subscription on the schedule
To clarify what was mentioned above, each SubscriptionSchedule has a Subscription attached to it. You can find this Subscription ID under the parameter that my colleague shared.
Instead of pausing the collection on SubscriptionSchedule itself, you can pause collection on the attached Subscription.
runic solstice
Hmm, you're right. Alternatively, you could update the current phase, but it doesn't seem like there's a parameter that allows you to pause collection in phases. https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/update?lang=php#update_subscription_schedule-phases
It's possible that you can't pause collection on SubscriptionSchedules.
balmy timber
This is also not working
balmy timber
It's possible that you can't pause collection on SubscriptionSchedules.
Yes
Any solution?
runic solstice
To pause collection on a SubscriptionSchedule - release the Subscription from schedule, and pause it. However, you will loose all the subsequent phases.
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/release
balmy timber
I understand but my client want to pause it and show the pause status on stripe too
runic solstice
As I stated yesterday, and as the docs suggest: pausing collection is not pausing the Subscription. Subscription with paused collection will still have status=active.
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/pause-payment#pausing-subscription-schedules:~:text=Subscriptions with paused collection can’t move into status%3Dpaused.
balmy timber
Instead of this
Can we set 3 months durations of cancellation?
if (!empty($subscription->schedule)) {
// scheduled downgrade subscription
\Stripe\SubscriptionSchedule::update($subscription->schedule,['end_behavior' => 'cancel'] );
} else {
// normal subscription
\Stripe\Subscription::update($getsubscription->stripe_id, [
'cancel_at_period_end' => true,
]);
}
You want to cancel Subscription after 3 months, instead of the end of this billing cycle, right?
balmy timber
Yes my client's requirement is user's subscription can be paused and resumed within 3 months. After that it be permanently canceled.
runic solstice
Sure. Instead of cancel_at_period_end, you can use cancel_at, and provide it the exact timestamp when you want to cancel the Subscription permanently: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-cancel_at
balmy timber
it will work for both subscription and scheduled subscription?
Pause the subscription for 3 months
runic solstice
For SubscriptionSchedules you can set end_date of the current phase to that timestamp. But make sure you don't have other phases after that: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/update#update_subscription_schedule-phases-end_date
balmy timber
In this case payment will be collected
But the subscription needs to be paused for 3 months
and resumed again within 3 months
runic solstice
For Subscription you can pause collection as you did above.
But you can't pause collection for SubscriptionSchedules, as we found out today.
You will need to release the SubscriptionSchedule, and then treat it as regular Subscription.
balmy timber
For Subscription you can pause collection as you did above.
But you can't pause...
You mean I have stop the scheduled downgrade subscription
runic solstice
What is "the downgrade subscription"?
balmy timber
I have scheduled downgrade subscription
runic solstice
Yes, you will loose this phase when you release SubscriptionSchedule.
balmy timber
Any other solution?
runic solstice
No, I don't think so. If the customer decides to resume, you will need to turn the Subscription back into a SubscriptionSchedule and add the downgrade phase.
balmy timber
\Stripe\Subscription::update($subscriptionId, [
'pause_collection' => [
'behavior' => 'mark_uncollectible',
],
]);
This will work right
runic solstice
Depending on what you want to achieve.
